Month: September 2023

I’m 27 and have had an assortment of jobs. Predominantly retail and some office jobs. None fitted me except for the retail but it never paid enough. I recently got fired from a job for not being focused enough or taking out the wrong equipment for the job which lead to my termination after 2 weeks. I was more frustrated that it was some what a pattern being fired from a job in a short period of time, seeing a therapist but being on a waitlist for 6 months for a cognitive ADHD test didnt help the situation but I know something is wrong. Often when I am taught something I only retain 40% and the rest is a struggle for me. Supportive workplaces, as what they think they’re doing dont actually help instead become frustrated over ones ability. Its the “come to my office we need to chat”, anxiety…

This subreddit can be really disappointing. The only way to actually be anti-work is to build working class power which involves creating solidarity between co-workers. But almost every time questions about coworkers come up the standard response is to “look out for number one” and that “coworkers aren't friends.” For example https://reddit.com/r/antiwork/s/NxrcfeqrAQ “Don't trust coworkers” is what you should be reading on the career advice subreddit. Just because you're complaining about your job doesn't make it anti-work. A generalized suspicion of colleagues is helpful to you in the short term, but helpful to management in the long term. Edit: Damn speech to text. I'm leaving it because it's funny.

Within skateboarding distance of my house (altho I drive cuz it’s at 5:50am). Zero traffic tho. The job is amazing. It’s not abusive labor like I’m used too, my last job was working as a plumbers helper. The last month or so they were cutting my hours to like 25 or less a week, and when they did use me it was to do shit like dig trenches or pick up fuckin rocks out of a trench. Including part times in my youth, I’ve had 17 or so jobs in the past 6 years. None of them have made me feel like this one. Trained me so indepthly. Been so relaxed. Yeah there’s corporate bullshit but it’s like I’ll fuckin deal with that. The moneys not like incredible but it’s what I’ve been getting, when I finish training it’ll be a dollar more, and there’s a raise schedule+opportunities for further…

I started my new job a month ago and my coworker is trying to be a control freak with me. I have two jobs that both take roughly an hour each that we should do simultaneously if we can. The other day when I tried to help out and keep up on everything my coworker screams at me “What are you doing? Get out of my space.” I said I was trying to help and she goes “How about you just let me take care of this from now on?” Today, we're super busy and she had to do something for like 3hrs. My supervisor asked me if I could help out and of course I said sure. I go ask my coworker if she wants help. “No I'm fine. You screw things up. I don't know how you do it?” Okay whatever…. meanwhile my supervisor asks again “Have you…

My morale is being steamrolled because I can't go to the doctor ( a twenty minute telehealth session) not for work purposes that matter but to tell us that we can give our paychecks to our company. Like email me and let me WORK.

Just started this work at home job, I desperately wanted to keep it for the remote benefit and high pay but the work is awful. They just gave me majority modules to learn the material. The material and system is still insanely frustrating and confusing to navigate and it’s hard trying to learn it when you’re being yelled at by customers on the phone. I’m tired of fast food jobs. I fear working with annoying drama seeking people. Please what can I do that’s not going to eat away at me and make me feel depressed.

So the CEO of AMEX wants you to know exactly how he spends his days. Working harder than you could possibly ever imagine. Reading emails while being driven to work is just a drop in the bucket when it comes to the vast river of efficiency and hard work this sack of sacks swims in daily. ANYONE can make $48 million if they just work as hard as he does. I mean 3 hours of answering emails without oversight!? Madness! I'm sure his fingers bleed nightly. And don't forget to stop by the employee cafeteria to break up your day and show the little folks you're there!
